There are some really basic methods any program owner can use to check the validity of an affiliate, the first is to make sure that the new affiliate signing up to any program has an active website and that the site is hosted somewhere that isnt 'yahoo' or 'geocities'.

Then there are name searches based on exisiting affiliates, you would be suprised how many affiliates join the same program over and over again.

Then there are those who simply dont read the T.O.S if someone signs up from say, Iraq, and they havent emailed me first, their account gets removed, it clearly states in the T.O.S where the 'banned' countries are and if they reside in that country to contact me before joining.

There are also IP checks that can be done and of course if you run a CCBill program, you can always send a flag over to CCBill's fraud dept and ask them to check an affiliate out for you also - This is actually how i catch most of the scammers that join Condom Cash, something just wont sit right with me and ill ask CCBill to work their magic.
